Cromizards look like small, anole-like lizards. However, they have a brightly colored crest that they can flare up or contract into asmall dark-green ridge. They appear mainly a slightly dark blue with bright, rainbow colors all over their bodies. They are generally placid and do not attack unless provoked, though doing so usually has little effect due to their weakness. They mainly eat fruits and berries, with some low growing plants and an occasional insect. Cromizards are not very powerful, however due to their bright colors and limited magical abilities they are verypopular as pets. Often young children may be given one as a special gift.
